In that line, White can throw in 4.Be5 and delay things one move.

Auto-resign. Rybka periodically polls your games, and the server resigns any that are lost by 3 points or more. Thwarts game-draggers, saves the humiliation of resigning the game yourself.

Please. Needs to be 3 * (2200/rating)^2. And only kick in for games that have be idle for more than an hour - let's avoid overloading the server.

6 vs 7: I'd thought that 2. Be5 was possible, just adding one to the mate in six. I missed that after 2. ... R8xe5 the R then speeds up the other mating options.

It wasn't a serious suggestion. 😛
